Trivia:

Many of the towns in the movie, including the town of Middleton, are made up but based on actual towns. The town of Middleton is based on the western-Oklahoma town of Sayre. The towns of Okeene, Byng, and Lawton are real, while the towns of Dellaplaine, Medfield, and Placerita are made-up.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: In the shot of downtown Oklahoma City, the skyline features the Ford Center, not built until the early 2000s.

Coach Jim Keith coached at our high school in that small Oklahoma town. Can't wait to see the movie!

We cannot wait to see this movie! We have heard so many positive comments about it already. It will be X-TRA special to my husband and me as we personally know Coach Jim Keith and his beautiful bride, Jorene. We had the privilege of graduating from high school (and playing basketball) in that small Oklahoma town where he coached a few years before the time line of this film. We know Coach Keith to be a man of highest integrity and will always count he and his lovely wife as role models from our high school days. What fun we had. Coach Keith was our special speaker for our 50th Alumni High School Reunion this past March 2005.

Yeaaaaa Coach Keith and Jorene. We love you and wish you the very best.
